Hi,

I have been looking at the keeping score tutorial: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/score.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/score.htm)  
and have produced a game where scores are added when the user gets it right.

I want to play a frame when the score reaches 5.

I have tried:

if (score == 5) {  
gotoAndPlay (144)  
}  
This doesnt appear to do anything. Any ideas? I am not sure I have put the code in the right place. (i put it on the frame)

Thanks

if(\_root.score=5){  
gotoAndPlay (144)  
}

doesnt work either!
